Toxic External Exposure Leading to Ocular Surface Injury [PDF]

open access: yesVision, 2023
The surface of the eye is directly exposed to the external environment, protected only by a thin tear film, and may therefore be damaged by contact with ambient particulate matter, liquids, aerosols, or vapors.

Investment in manufacturing, exchange rates and external exposure [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of International Economics, 1995
Abstract This paper introduces a new measure of external exposure, which emphasizes exposure to external markets both through export sales and imported inputs into production, and uses this measure to explore the linkage between exchange rates and investment in US industry.

Empirical evidence that mean soil contaminant concentration is not a conservative indicator of external exposure to wildlife

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2023
Adequate information on external exposure is often a limiting factor in ecological risk assessments because of a lack of exposure data for free-ranging animals as they interact with a heterogeneous distribution of contaminants.

Modeling external exposure to pesticides in human populations: Developing an exposure scenario generator

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Pesticides are a significant public health concern due to their widespread use. However, estimating population exposures remains challenging, given the need to integrate multiple exposure routes and scenarios. We developed the Pesticide Exposure Scenario

Human exposure pathways to organophosphate flame retardants: Associations between human biomonitoring and external exposure [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2019
Organophosphate flame retardants (PFRs) have largely replaced the market of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Concerns about PFR contamination and its impact on human health have consequently increased.
